Hey, remember me? I am not sure since I have been away for too many days. I am trying to catch up on reviewing, but it is not looking very good. More than ever, available time has turned out to be a rare and golden gift.

In any event, I enjoyed reading this, Jim. I do not even watch the evening news programs any more. You are right. They are not reporting the truth on any issues that happen to be against their own political beliefs. That is a shame and dishonors all the honorable laws of journalism.

Hope you are doing well, my friend. FS is a super place for venting steam. It helps our blood pressure readings. -- I do not want to brag (well, maybe that is not quite true) but at a routine doctor visit this week, my blood pressure was 120/80. I cannot keep myself from grinning and looking silly. :0)

As always, good thoughts. I have an active distrust of media. "Must be true, it was on the Internet". We don't have TV. When the votes are taken, the promises broken, and the chaos continues what do we have? The same old mess. Anyways, enough ranting. Esther

This is a very well written form and I enjoyed listening to it. It's one of the reasons why we as viewers need to do some investigating on our own and know exactly what truth is and being able to recognize the lies when they are spread across the media. Patricia.

I've always thought it interesting after important speeches talking heads come on and tell us what we heard. I guess we're not intelligent enough to know what we heard. I'm fed up with all the media. Thank you for sharing.

Very true statements but don't even get me started on what they call the "news" on television. Thank you for sharing. Nicely written. Good graphics.

Good work.
I'm hearing of some garbage called 'both sides-ism'.
No! report the truth - and there ain't but one side of that.
Thank you for posting this poem.

Nicely written. You don't really get much news from Fox and MSNBC. What you get is the version of the version of the news they want you to believe. Of couse those two stations are on opposite sides of the spectum. There are some startions that give only news and let you form you own opinion. It can be a bit boring. LOL We get caught up with personalities we like and want to know what they think.
